Welcome to Full Bloom Cottage

Monday, January 10, 2011

I received these beautiful cane chairs, in their natural rustic condition, cane in tact on the back and sides, but completely missing from the seats. The first thought was if I was going to paint them.

As much as I love painted furniture, something about these chairs were so naturally charming.

I sent them out to have these cushions with slip covers made. The detailed ruffled edges, and flange give it a toned down romantic feel.

The removeable seat covers are great just in case of a spill, it makes it worry free.

Another favorite piece of mine, is this perfectly aged table.

The patina of the original paint, and gold gilding, add a perfect balance

I think you made the right choice to leave the chairs as they were. don't you love them with the linen seat. Sometimes you just can't mess with perfection. Also drooling over the patina on that table. Great stuff!!!

"I found the fabulous Full Bloom Cottage a few months back and fell completely in love with Loretta's beautiful furnishings and sumptuous linens. Her vintage European grain sack bolsters are by far a favorite of mine. Full Bloom Cottage's products are of the highest quality and will never disappoint. Loretta's use of vintage linens, chandeliers and exquisite vintage furnishings and accessories blend together to create a warm and relaxing home full of definite beauty. I am extremely blessed to have some of her lovely pieces in my own home." -Melinda Barrowcliff-Reyes of Alabaster Rose Designs

" I have bought several gorgeous pieces of furniture from Loretta, I would have to say she has helped furnish three quarters of my home! If I'm asked what would be my favorite piece I wouldn't be able to choose. The armoire is just incredible, the detailing on it is so unique, the chandelier in my dining room is to die for! My armiore in my bedroom is just perfect, I love waking to it every morning. Not to mention all the other pieces! I'm always anticipating what she's going to have next, and what new piece of furniture that I will be adding to my home!" Rebecca -A French Home in NY
